I am so excited about tonight’s game—-and even though I am 53 years older than the 11 year boy who went trick-or-treating on the evening of October 31, 1966 and then sat with his bag full of Halloween candy in front of his parents’ new color RCA TV to watch the St. Louis Cardinals host the Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football—-I honestly believe I feel pretty much the same excitement I felt on that hallowed evening long ago.
Here is the highlight tape of the Cardinals’ 24-17 win over legendary Bears coach George Halas and his breathtaking Hall of Fame running back Gayle Sayers, thanks to a couple of early TD runs by RB Johnny Roland and 3 outstanding interceptions by my boyhood idol, S Larry Wilson:
Part of my excitement for tonight’s game is having the opportunity to see the debut of RB Kenyan Drake as an Arizona Cardinal.
